Soden Petigar

Colonel Soden Petigar was a human who served the Galactic Empire as an engineer. He was tasked with developing the next steps of the Imperial occupation of the planet Aldhani and traveled there in 5 BBY to visit a dam where the Aldhani Garrison was based. At the dam, Commandant Jayhold Beehaz and Lieutenant Gorn discussed the Imperial manipulation of the local Dhani population with Petigar and assured him they would not be a problem for the planned development.

Looking forward to viewing the upcoming Eye of Aldhani celestial event, Petigar witnessed a meteor pass over the dam while using a survey scope. He then accompanied Gorn, Beehaz, and the commandant's family to a ceremonial exchange of hides with the natives, which assured the Imperials another three-year lease.

Following the exchange, Petigar returned to the dam with Beehaz and his family, where the group was held at blaster point by a group of rebels aiming to steal the Imperial payroll held in the garrison. Petigar drew his blaster pistol and demanded that the rebels release Beehaz's son, Leonart Beehaz, but the engineer was then shot and killed by the rebel Cinta Kaz.
